Overview
- New analyses estimate the dollar repayments equal roughly 9%–46% of original holdings in crypto terms, including about 22% for Bitcoin, 46% for Ethereum and 12% for Solana.
- The FTX estate cites an overall 143% fiat recovery, but Bitcoin’s jump from roughly $16,871 at filing to above $110,000 magnifies the gap between cash payouts and current token values.
- The Recovery Trust has executed phased distributions, sending about $1.2 billion in February to smaller claimants and $5 billion in May to larger groups.
- Distribution rates vary by claim type, with reported figures including roughly 72% for Dotcom customers, 54% for U.S. customers, 120% for Convenience Claims and an expected 61% for General Unsecured and Digital Asset Loan claims via Kraken and BitGo.
- Sam Bankman-Fried is scheduled to argue his Second Circuit appeal on November 4 to challenge his conviction, as some projects such as Paradex float separate airdrop plans that remain uncertain in scale or timing.
